- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a spatula.
- Fold in the chocolate chip cookies and refrigerate the dough for approximately 2 hours.
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it chill for 10 minutes.
- To make mini cookies, roll 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and place approx. 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes (or until the sides are golden brown.)
*Pro tip: If you notice that your cookie dough balls don’t have enough chocolate chips in them, feel free to insert a few on top before you pop them in the oven.
Enjoy!
